Some of the great women of faith with incredible miracles as per the Bible
The widow of Nain
This woman only had one son and she lost him one day. Jesus was touched with her sufferings and just for the lady, he breathes new life into her son.
“And when he approached the city gate, he saw an expired man (the widow’s only son) was being carried out along with a huge crowd. When the Lord looked at the widow, he had empathy for her and exclaimed to her, ‘Do not cry.’ Then he descended and held the coffin, and people who were carrying them were just standing in silence. And he ordered, ‘Young gentleman, I command you to arise,’ after that, the immortal person sat up and started speaking and he then handed himself to his mother.
“Then everyone was in fear, and they witnessed God stating, ‘A tremendous prophet has come up among all of us,’ and, ‘God has come to see his clan.” (Luke 7:12-16).
The Shunammite woman
The baby of the Shunammite woman was a God’s miracle. She had not been able to have a child for long; but with the blessing of God, she gave birth to a son.
When the woman’s son was youthful, he faced an unexpected sickness and soon expired. She placed him on the couch where Elisha used to sleep. “The moment Elisha stepped into the room, there was a boy who was lying expired on his couch.” The women then went into a quiet room and prayed to God.
“And he placed himself on the boy, and situated his hands on his hands, his eyes on his eyes, his mouth on his mouth; and he completely spread himself out on the boy, and all of a sudden the child’s flesh turned into a warm one. He then roamed in the house for a while, and came back on him and placed himself on him again. After that, the boy sneezed 7 times, and the boy was soon awake.
The widow of Zarephath
Her son had become quite ill and passed away. Then the prophet Elijah called out to God and exclaimed, ‘O LORD my God, I beseech, let the boy’s soul get into him again.’ Then the LORD listened to what Elijah had said, and the boy’s soul was awarded to him back, and he was soon alive. And Elijah held the boy and carried him for handing over to his mother. After that, Elijah exclaimed, ‘Look your child is alive!’
“Then the lady proceeded to Elijah and said, ‘After this, I am assured that you are God’s man and that the LORD word from your mouth is the truthfulness.” (1 Kings 17:21-24).
